[Support]: Frigate deleting all recording "running storage maintenance" when over 10TB are still left free.

[psychopat81]

Describe the problem you are having

I have all my cameras setup for continuous recording:

record:
  enabled: true
  retain:
    days: 30
    mode: all
  events:
    retain:
      default: 90
      mode: motion

Every 10 mins Frigate is deleting all recordings and starting over.
See the logs here:

There's plenty of space available on the drive.

looks like one of the cameras might be having problems saving segments causing the bandwidth calculation to be higher than expected

[psychopat81]

I disabled all detection and also all camera except one at the time and no difference. All my recordings are getting wiped every 10 mins or so.

[NickM-27]

you can enable debug logs for frigate.storage which will tell what the problematic camera is.

In any case, I've put up a fix to at least ensure other camera recordings are not affected #15473

[psychopat81]

thanks! is there an easy way to apply your changes to my installation?

You'd need to run the latest dev image
